Well done Chris, difficulties (Wof failures) = opportunities Love your attitude and ability
I have a Standard one sitting in the shed, it would be much more straight forward, but I haven't got anywhere near getting it going in twice the time. Well done.
Hope to get to see this when you are down.

Thanks guys

It just came together really well, it was like the car wanted to be modified, but if any of you have a rear bumper I'd be keen. The blue car has lost its rear one because it now lives on the 69er.

Any cat smashed is good and worth damaging the chin for...I'm not keen on cats!!!
Thanks for the advice anyway and I'm expecting that it's likely to get damaged/destroyed by low flying objects, the valence panel is not in good nick either so worth the risk.
